St. Louis Cardinals Future Outlook
As the St. Louis Cardinals approach 2026, they are poised for another setback following a fourth-place finish in 2025 with a 78-84 record. To alleviate payroll, they traded right-hander Sonny Gray and are considering dealing third baseman Nolan Arenado. To bolster their rotation, they are finalizing a deal with right-hander Dustin May, who had a challenging return in 2025 after injuries. May posted a 4.96 ERA with 123 strikeouts over 132.1 innings while playing for the Dodgers and Red Sox.
